something that has really started to bother me, is that 99% of the phonecalls or texts I get ask the question, "what is the lowest you'll take on this?"To which I reply either, "I am open to offers," or, "depends on what your offer is."

These are all great points. Chim you're right about saying that someone should state that their price is firm to avoid any problems or confusion. My 3rd gen for sale right now is getting calls like crazy. I have it listed for $2800. I didn't specify firm or OBO. I had a guy call me this morning and ask, "what's your lowest price?" I said, "I don't negotiate over the phone." To which his reply was, "will you take $2000?" I was infuriated! I said hell no! Then he quickly responded, "how about $2300?" I was trying not to call him a bad name, so I said how about you come look at it then offer me your price. He beat around the bush a bit more then hung up. It's people like that who need a good ass kickin.
I make more money that you, my wife is hotter than yours, my thingy is bigger than yours
I have sold many many cars on craigslist... and have bought many as well.. I personally don't like to offer because 1. my offer is going to be considered a low ball... or 2. I should have kept my mouth shut and offered less!! I know that everyone selling something has a number they wont go past.. that's what I ask for when I ask "whats the lowest you will take" .. makes it easier for everyone.. and yes the obo is just a start for the range that you want to sell it in... So when someone asks whats the lowest you will take.. just tell them! There has been several times when a seller wouldn't just give me a number so I said forget it...
Hmmm....when i sell stuff i put the pricer a lot higher than it should be, and have some one talk me down to my price
When you do that you run the risk of no one being interested at all.... when I see someone selling a older toyota PU w/ light mods for $10K I just look the other way...
